Red Molly

ok so.... for the longest while I'd hear a song on the XMradio the village look down and it would be Red Molly so finally a couple months ago I put their CD Love and Other Tragedies on my MP3 player and it has become on of my favorites. Red Molly is a trio from New York composed of Laurie MacAllister (vocals,guitar, and banjo) Abbie Gardner (vocals,dobro and guitar) and Coralann Solebello (vocals, guitar and bass) each great musicians and vocalists. The Cd is a great mix of traditional songs "Wayfaring Stranger", Keep your Lamp Trimmed and Burning" ,and a great cover of the Susan Werner's song "May I Suggest" and originals at least one by each member "Beaumont Truck Stop" by Laurie MacCallister,"Summertime" by Carolann Solebello (a favorite to me it has the flavor of a Tanya Savory song) and "The Mind of a Soldier" by Abby Gardner  which is an entry in the John Lennon song writing contest o if after listening you want to vote for Abby Click here.

Each of the women had solo careers before forming the band so I went to Rhapsody and listened to both a solo CD by both Laurie's and Abby's and thought they were both really good. Tomorrow it's Carolann. So go find'em and enjoy!
